If you have vision problems, ask someone how to adjust the fonts and font sizes on your computer screen. 2) Have you found these people in the census of 1930 or 1920? Your local library may have access to Ancestry.com, if you do not. 3) If you know where these people were living or died, have you seen their obits? Many papers are available online now. Obits, if written well, tell where or when they arrived in the USA. 4) Utilize the resources of the Polish Genealogy Societies in the USA--PGS of America, California, Northeast are excellent and you should find them and their websites utilizing Google. 5) There is more than one way to skin a cat (sorry cat lovers--just an expression). Check the Social Security Death Index for those you know and double check where they died. The SSDI shows their SS#. They you can write for the SS application of those born outside the US. A costly way to do it (over $30), but effective. You will have the information directly from the source. Pray they didn't just write "Russia". :) Well, that's more than two, but whatever works.
